Abstract
A power electronic inverter is developed for a high-frequency induction heating application. The application requires up to 160 kW of power at a frequency of 100 kHz. This power-frequency product represents a significant challenge for today's power semiconductor technology. Voltage source and current source inverters both using ZCS or ZVS are analyzed and compared. To attain the level of performance required, an LCL load-resonant topology is selected to enable ZVS close to the zero current crossing of the load. This mode of soft-switching is suitable to greatly reduce the IGBT losses. Inverter control is achieved via a phase locked loop (PLL). This paper presents the circuit design, modeling and control considerations.
